It is the most penalties minutes compiled by two teams in ECAC Hockey history, passing the 134 minutes set by Yale and Harvard in 1998 and the second most penalties called in a game since 1985 (39, Clarkson vs. St. Lawrence).

It is also the 13th most combined penalty minutes between two teams in NCAA Division I men's ice hockey history and the most since Canisius and RIT compiled 251 on Feb. 9, 2008.
